May 29, will be declared the Day of the Honey Bee in B.C. to recognize and celebrate how beekeeping in B.C. has grown from May 1858 when two hives arrived in Victoria Harbour into an industry that has a $250-million-a-year agricultural impact today.

A $613,050 investment by the governments of British Columbia and Canada is resulting in increased surveillance and preventative measures to stop livestock diseases from spreading to B.C.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has released the following statement on Bill 24, the Agricultural Land Commission Act:

B.C.'s commercial greenhouse operators have until May 19, 2014, to take advantage of the B.C. government's 2014 greenhouse carbon tax relief grant program.

As we go about our busy lives, we often don’t think about where our food comes from, just that it’s there when we need it.

British Columbia's state-of-the-art animal health lab in Abbotsford has received accreditation from an international organization that recognizes B.C. and the lab's excellence in veterinary diagnostic testing.
